Thread: Does Lucid Dreaming Have a Deeper Purpose?

People seem be interested in the whole "knowing oneself" aspect, but then they get afraid of being subjective, and seeing how they really think in this reality does not always conform to the reality in dreams. So they end up doing nothing, and just stick with trying to have fun, then realize having fun isn't enough because they want to apply what they experienced to waking life.

And the whole process of trying to learn, but not being open-minded and back to being bored repeats again.

Point is, when you go by that logic, you can either set the conviction that dreaming is apophenia or try to make meaning of the apophenia, but still feel like it's just randomly generated.

maybe just using it for sex and whatnot is abusing it

I don't think that's abusing it, it depends on the person. If lucid dreaming is something not many people can do at will, and you have those you can have them often, they're just enjoying something that occurs when they sleep. As long as they're happy with doing it constantly (if they can go all the way), then I don't think it's abusing.

Because if you think that's abuse, if you try to go to deeper aspects, like Akashic Records for instance, wouldn't having "constant access" to an element of precognitive dreams be an example of "cheating" in how you control you life?

i'm not just talking about using it for solely self improvement or things having to do with the subconscious.

If you want to see things beyond practical assumptions of lucid dreaming, it really involves understanding yourself before you step into the lines of the potential. Because if you can't understand the mental filters and how your mind works from personal development, you won't have a decent basis to work around with to be really creative.

And most things, especially in the Beyond Dreaming section, are usually criticized by those who are earnest with having evidence to back up the anecdotes. Lucid Dreaming can have a deeper purpose if you align yourself to the mentality that anything is possible in lucid dreaming, and can eradicate the majority of doubt that comes with that sense of confidence.

It doesn't seem like it's utilized at its full potential, because again, the potential is dependent on the dreamer willing to experiment, forget their current convictions temporarily, and go on a constant scavenger hunt for more information, and have a burning desire to "evolve" mentally.

Not many people are willing to go that far, and still have stable control of a main perception in this reality and in dreaming, because most would be too afraid in the first place.
